there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.

Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you

”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.

And like, at least some of them are probably right. Yeah these disorders are less common than things like anxiety disorders, but they are more common than you think they are. Like, they probably shouldn't self diagnose without doing a reasonable amount of research and talking to a professional if possible, but not every single one of them is wrong, and being wrong about something is not the same thing as lying about having something you don't. Be nice to teenagers they're still learning

subtle ways to include foreshadowing

  • one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later
  • the crow rhyme
  • colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?
  • write with the ending in mind
  • use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future
  • keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal
  • WEATHER.
  • do some research into Chekhov's gun
  • mention something that the mc dismisses over and over
  • KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.
  • unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true
  • flowers and names with meanings
  • anything with meanings actually
  • metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh
  • anyways add anything else in the tags
elumish

I'd also add:

  • something that your character thinks can't apply to them
  • information mentioned when they're talking about something else
  • doing something for thing x that then becomes relevant in situation y
  • a character avoiding avoid a topic
  • having characters who look alike but not drawing attention to it (e.g., two characters introduced five chapters apart who have red hair in a world where red hair is unusual)
